the owl

The owl has left and now I am completely alone. I was soberly aware of what the owl meant before it was gone and I fully realized what it would mean if it left , but I must confess I didn't actually think it would happen. I am not prepared, I don't know what my next move should be- I know what I need and that is nothing short of having the owl return but how I go about that escapes me. The owl was everything- it brought everyone to me, it provided me with consistency, it was the streets I traveled on. Now nothing makes sense without the owl here to give reason to these random occurrences. The owl was the point where everything converged like a napkin ring that brings it all into a central meeting place the owl brought everything together and then released it with reason and purpose. Now there is not a reason or a purpose to these napkins because the owl is not here to create it. Oh how aware I was too of what the owl meant to all this, I was constantly acknowledging the influence the owl had but now I have no owl to acknowledge. I have no recipient of my praise because there is no one or thing worthy of my upright praise. What do I do know, where to start- Nat

  1. At the risk of sounding evangelical: I think the owl is still around and you have been ignoring it. What you see as an owl flying the coup may be you putting a towel over the coup and turning your back.

    or you might just be reflecting on a napkin ring but I hope the first one is correct.
